Hi all,
I have posted a little bit on this forum before, in fact the lovely ladies here helped me when I wasn't sure if my test was positive! I didn't expect to be posting in this bit but here I am. I went for a scan at EPU on Tuesday due to a small amount of bleeding over the past few weeks, hoping and praying to see a heartbeat. I thought I was 8-9 weeks, but the scan showed that there was no heartbeat, looking about 6.5weeks. I have another scan booked next week to make sure, but they said I am likely to miscarry this week. Today I had some red blood so I think it is starting.
Anyway I just sort of wanted to vent and say hello, I don't want to upset anyone by posting this. I don't know anyone else who has been through this (that I know of), and have several friends with beautiful babies and happy pregnancies.
One thing I am in need of advice on is how to deal with work - I've told them what is going on, and haven't been in since the scan, but I don't really know what to do over the next few days. I'm scared of it happening at work, but equally I feel bad being off as I'm not currently in any pain and I have so much work on. How long do people usually take? Are employers usually quite understanding? I'm really up and down emotionally, one minute fine and the next the tiniest thing will set me off, and my face goes bright red when I cry and takes ages to calm down so I really can't hide it if it happens at work!
Thanks for any responses, and sorry to those who have lost little ones xxx
